On April 28, Beijing time, the latest injury of Bucks core star Middleton was exposed, according to the famous Wenarowski report, Middleton's left knee injury recovery time is expected to be longer than expected, next week he will re-evaluate, unlikely to return in the second round, the best situation is to return at some stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the April 21St Bucks and Bulls series G2, Middleton unfortunately suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and after the MRI, the Bucks officially announced that he would be reviewed in two weeks; now Middleton has been recuperating for a week, and the reputation has revealed that the Mishen Eastern Conference semifinals are highly likely to be reimbursed, and the most ideal result is a comeback in the East.
At present, the Bucks are 3-1 ahead of the Bulls, and it is expected that the G5 will win the series; in today's game, LaVine triggered the epidemic prevention agreement and was forced to miss the game, Caruso did not pass the concussion test, had a headache when riding a sports bike, and was also unable to play, so the Bucks are more likely to advance 4-1.
As it stands, the Bucks are likely to eliminate the Bulls and will play against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals (sweeping the Nets 4-0), and Middleton is unlikely to make a comeback in this series.
So far in the playoffs this year, Middleton has only played 2 games, averaging 14.5 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 36 minutes per game; the Bucks' defense path is indispensable to Middleton, when will he return to the game? I only hope that Mi Shen will be healed soon.
